Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for assembling at least two control elements per fluid under pressure and composed of an interface on which are fixed said control elements, which are essentially pneumatic.
  • the technical sector of the invention is the field of realization of control boxes cylinders actuating valves intended for industries food and health.
  • Such a control box comprises various elements such as electrical terminal blocks, detectors, electronic control modules control and regulation, as well as all types pressure fluid control elements such as solenoid valves or solenoid valves which, in authorizing or not the passage of a control fluid which is preferably compressed air, allow whether or not to activate the opening and / or closing of the valve concerned.
  • These control boxes are mounted usually directly on top of it for, on the one hand, simplify the assembly of the entire valve and decrease the lengths of the control lines and, on the other hand, control, thanks to any cams and sensors, the position of the moving parts of the valve, part of which, such as the rod end cylinder can thus protrude inside the housing.
  • valve actuator control boxes intended for particular to the food industry and sanitary, where we can stay at least two if not at least three or more elements of controls such as solenoid valves, solenoid valves or any logic elements powered by pressurized fluid (as essentially tires and which will be referred to herein description under the general name of elements of command "or more specifically by the term "solenoid valve”) in a small footprint and inside a volume of curved exterior shape, such than a cylinder of revolution, and this without altering the cylinder control fluid flow performance valve.
  • solenoid valves solenoid valves or any logic elements powered by pressurized fluid
  • pressurized fluid as essentially tires and which will be referred to herein description under the general name of elements of command "or more specifically by the term "solenoid valve”
  • a solution to the problem posed is a device assembly of at least two control elements for fluid under pressure and composed of an interface, on which are fixed said control elements and comprising the fluid circulation pipes, which is preferably gas and even compressed air.
  • These pipes connect in particular at least the supply and outlet ports for these elements of controls that operate the opening and closing of minus one valve in a product transport circuit food.
  • said interface comprises at at least two faces forming an angle between them between 30 to 60 ° and in a particular mode of about 45 °, and able to receive each at least one of said control elements; at least one of said faces of said interface being suitable even to receive at least two control elements.
  • these faces are located in radial planes, perpendicular to tangents to the curve of the shape outside of the case in which we want to house the block interface: if this curve is a circle, and the case is therefore a cylinder of revolution, these faces are located in diametrical planes.
  • the result is a new device for assembling at least two control elements on an interface block which makes it possible to respond to the problem posed: in fact, by fixing at least two control elements on two distinct faces of the interface, and which form between them an angle corresponding in fact to the curvature of the outer shape of the housing in which we want to accommodate them, we can arrange said control elements as close as possible to this outer shape, thus occupying the smallest possible footprint; thus the rest of the interior space of said housing is freed up to dispose of the other elements which constitute it, without having to reduce the size of the control elements, in order to ensure for example for solenoid valves an optimum flow rate such as 3, 66 X 10 -3 Nm 3 / sec for compressed air, and without increasing the size of the case.
  • the assembly device is composed of an interface 1, on which said solenoid valves are fixed and comprising the lines 3, 4, 7 for circulation of fluid (which is preferably compressed air) and connecting the supply and outlet ports of these to control the opening and closing of the valve 19; this being mounted on a circuit pipeline for the transport of food products.
  • fluid which is preferably compressed air
  • one of said faces 12 2 of the interface 1 is capable of receiving two solenoid valves 2, while the other face 12 1 receives only one and has a notch 15 to allow the passage of a movable rod 183.
  • Said interface block 1 has three holes 9 between its upper face 13 and its lower face 14 to allow its attachment to the base or base 19 of the housing 17.
  • the two separate faces 12 receiving the said solenoid valves 2 are planar and form between them a angle ⁇ predetermined so that the distal ends solenoid valves 2 fixed on said interface block 1 fit into the curved shape of the housing 17 and its base 19.
  • This angle a can therefore be between 5 and 175 ° depending on the respective size of said electrodes 2 of the interface block 1 and of the housing 17, or in fact preferably between 30 and 60 ° and such that shown in the attached embodiment of 45 ° approximately, the control elements or solenoid valves 2 being arranged head to tail on either side of the block interface 1.
  • the shape of the surface 16, which connects, on the side of their edge diverging, said faces 12 supporting the control elements 2 can be of any shape, such as a flat or curved or faceted face for also adapt as best as possible to the shape of the housing 17 while allowing the drilling of all lines 3, 4, 7 as well as fixing 9.
  • the upper face 13 and the lower face 14 of the interface 1 are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the faces 12 for fixing the control elements 2; said faces 12 can join, forming the angle a, along an edge perpendicular to said lower and upper faces, or be connected by another face 20, preferably perpendicular to one of the faces 12.
  • Said control elements 2 being also fixed perpendicular both to these faces 12 and to the upper 13 and lower 14 faces by means of holes 10 1 and 10 2 made on said convergent / divergent faces 12.
  • All the openings of lines 3, 4, 7 of circulation of fluid such as air or compressed gas, connecting the feed and outlet ports of said control elements 2 are therefore all located on the face lower 14 of said interface 1 but they could be arranged on one or more side faces.
  • This pneumatic interface 1 can be also fully integrated into the base 19 of the housing 1 and consisting of a single piece produced by example by molding.
  • Said interface block 1 can be produced in all metallic materials, such as in particular aluminum or plastic and according to all known achievement.
  • the assembly device can adapt to any type of control elements such as solenoid valves, and that the housing 17 which contains them can adapt to any existing valve which then simply needs to be changed only the case without modifying these.
